Protect Yourself from the Spanish Rally

Jun 11, 2012 | 10:02 AM EDT

We are back in a see-saw market environment-t again. For most investors, attempting to trade your way through is a recipe for loss. If you are patient you can nibble on some big-name, high-dividend stocks like Santander,
France Telecom(FTE) or
JPMorgan(JPM - Get Report), which will pay you while you wait. And given the disdain for these stocks today, odds are you will be in good shape a year or two down the road. Otherwise, use a rally intelligently as an opportunity to sell high.

At the time of publication, Gad had no positions in any of the stocks mentioned, although positions may change at any time.
